Letter to Michael Page dated 3rd November 2003

We act as an Investment Manager for a number of large institutional investors 
and for a number of commingled funds. In acting for our Clients, we are given 
full discretion over the investments, and are empowered to vote on their behalf. 
However, we do not act as their Custodian, and therefore shares are not held in 
our name, but in the nominee name of their Custodian Bank.

Recent purchases/sales of shares in your company by ourselves, on behalf of our 
clients, have resulted in our having control over the following shares 
(also see below):

SILCHESTER:                   39,949,000        Ordinary Shares 

Our records show that you have the following shares in that class 

MICHAEL PAGE:                363,662,799        Ordinary Shares 

As such, we exercise control over 10.99% of the shares of that class.
